Silly tardigrade's playing on the wrong side of the bridge. Do they teach nothing at tardigrade music school?
He's playing Penderecki
TIL. Thank you!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krzysztof_Penderecki
The Threnody is definitely his most famous, but he has used that technique in some of his solo compositions for cello as well - example
Oh WOW!
That's...something else entirely.
So violent! Yet also subtle and quiet.
Yields immediate visceral reactions.
The entire instrument is so thoroughly explored.
How does one remember such a piece?
Or keep the original bow and strings to the end?
Striking. Marvelous. Beautiful. I'm all for it.
An amendment of something conjured by it:
Threnody to the Victims of Health Insurance Companies.
It's also not even a violin.
It's hard to tell. It looks deep like a cello, but the bridge doesn't look quite high enough. Maybe at the tardigrade scale stringed instruments are made a little differently.
